The streets of Madrid have used 7.5 million light bulbs to celebrate this year's Christmas, some 700,000 more than last year. About 99.5 percent of the lights are energy-efficient with less pollution.
Madrid Pavilion for Shanghai World Expo's Urban Best Practices Area will showcase a bamboo house and an artificial tree that can control climate conditions.
The pavilion will be a five-story residential building covered in bamboo to filter sunshine, heat and sound, similar to its progressive social housing project south of the city.
